Food workers accused of spitting in sandwich

BEAVER FALLS — A Beaver Falls man was charged after he encouraged another employee to spit in a customer’s food at the McDonald’s restaurant in Beaver Falls, police said.

A city police report said Carl Leak III, no age or address given, reported to police that he learned a food worker had spit on his hamburger when he was there on May 12.

Kodie Herbert, 18, of 1300 Ninth Ave. told a juvenile employee, whom police did not name, to spit on Leak’s hamburger, which the juvenile did, the report said. Someone witnessed the incident, and word got back to Leak, the report said.

When police contacted the restaurant manager, he told police that Herbert and the juvenile had been fired, the report said.

Herbert was charged with corruption of minors and disorderly conduct. Police did not say whether the juvenile was also charged.
